Is John Carter Going to Be a Massive Box Office Bust?

"Could Disney have the biggest box office flop of all-time on their hand? It’s almost certainly too early to tell but as John Carter came on tracking, gasps of horror could probably have been heard over at Walt Disney Studios this past Thursday."

I live in the States, and I can assure that there is no sensation surrounding this film. John Carter is a very mundane title for a movie, no matter where you're from. It shares the same asinine story genre with the likes of Cowboys vs. Aliens. I don't understand why Hollywood continues this trend, knowing that most level-headed Americans detest these kinds of films.

I saw a lengthy preview at the movies this weekend and it actually looks pretty good. The 3D even looked pretty good and I don't like 3D. I wasn't really interested in going to the theater to see it I may go now.

Have no interest in this movie at all. The trailer gave everything away. All the flashy editing tries to paint it as some new epic movie that must be watched, but it shows absolutely nothing interesting. Only reason i'm commenting is because I just saw an ad for it while watching NBA today and I laughed again at how crappy it looked.

This movie could go either way. John Carter was first written about 100 years ago before anybody had any concept of space travel. One thing that I think is Cool was that the author Edgar Rice Burroughs know that an Earthling would be stronger on Mars than earth. But the material is soo dated I really don't think this movie can pull it off. The book was vague on how he ended up on Mars in the first place. If Hollywood want to revisit early 20th century Scifi they need to do a big budget Flash Gordon movie.
